I'm happy to say that I worked out both Saturday and Sunday and I haven't had ANYTHING with sugar in it in 3 days. Just to be clear, I haven't eaten a dessert since last Monday but I haven't eaten SUGAR, at all, since Thursday. What does that mean? Well, if you've read my "HEALTH Fight" post, you'll know I'm trying to eliminate yeast from my system, which means I can't have sugar, but I also can't have anything with white flour, pasta, milk (yes, there are sugars in milk), white rice, anything with wheat...etc. etc. You would be AMAZED at how many foods contain sugar, and when you give up sugar it really limits you. It FORCES you to eat healthy! :-) It's been tough at times, but I'm determined to do this. In addition to the diet, I have to take several supplements to help clean out and strengthen my system. The supplements include cod liver oil (YUMMY!), Magnesium Glycinate, a probiotic, a B-Complex vitamin, grapefruit seed extract etc. etc. It's only for two months and then I can begin adding foods, one at a time, to my diet to see how my body reacts. I'm really excited to do this and I'm hopeful that I'm going to start feeling a lot better. For a long time now I've suffered from so many of the symptoms associated with a yeast imbalance (see the "HEALTH Fight" post for the list), and I'm eager to see if they start going away.
I'll post again in the morning after I "weigh-in". Fingers crossed that I've lost weight from my lowest weight yet, but that might be tough considering ALL the food I ate last weekend for the birthday weekend. Wish me luck!
